Homicide Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Rice Lake, MN
What should I tell the insurance company?
Say what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and which documents are needed. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
Do I need to be there during cleanup?
No. Many families set up access by phone through a key holder or manager. You can stay away, and the crew will call with questions about belongings.
How to clean a murder scene?
It should be left to professionals. Blood and body fluids carry bloodborne pathogens and often soak deeper than they look. A crew contains the area, removes contaminated materials, disinfects and treats odor.

Is the family expected to clean the scene?
No, and it is not advised. Cleanup involves health risks and can be hard emotionally. Professional crews handle it so the family does not have to see or touch the affected area.
Will the smell go away?
Yes, when the source is removed. Odor often comes from materials fluids soaked into, so crews take those out, then clean and deodorize the space. The air is filtered to finish the job.
